I think actually you’ll find that until yesterday, I hadn’t even been on the bloody site for weeks! So that makes a mockery of that statement! :lol:
It would seem the more sensible people are staying away. Is it any wonder with statements and comments like that? Deary, deary, me. No. Let me pick apart your statement.
“Monopoly of the board”- Great, if I have a monopoly on here despite not posting for weeks. That clearly shows that you people are not worthy.
“Ripping Yarns”- Your jealousy is thunderous. Just because I know something you don’t……no need to be like the child the gang won’t play with. (Aww diddums)
“Air of self-importance”- Why, because I have an opinion and have more sense and Latics when it comes to football and Latics than most people on here? Sorry if that’s a crime. That’s not being ‘self-important’, that is stating a fact.
But we are talking about a bunch of muppets here. (You know who you are, and I don’t mean everybody. There are a select few people on here who I actually respect, and again, they’ll know who I mean.)
But those people are bothering on here less and less. I wonder why…….
I’ve only been back on a day, and I’m thinking “why bother?” already.
I liked Bullard as a player, was disappointed when he signed for Fulham, and would have loved to have had him back at Wigan until last year, when I spent a full afternoon in his company.
I was introduced to him by a mutual friend –who thought we’d get on because of the Wigan connection. After about half an hour, I just found him to be one of the most irritating, boastful, attention-seeking people I have ever met. He was in the company of quite a few people who had achieved an awful lot more in life than he ever will (myself not included in that category), and for the most part, just got up quite a few noses (rumour related pun fully intended).
I’ll not go into too much of a rant, but if you think Jimmy Bullard views Wigan Athletic or our town with any great fondness, then think again.
It certainly wasn’t because of family reasons that he left Wigan.
I know he had a lot of non-footballer mates in Wigan, so I’m sure some of them must frequent this site, and if you are one of those friends, I apologise. I’m sure he has some fantastic traits. It’s just a pity that I didn’t see any of them.
I don’t think we need to worry about Jimmy coming back, thanks for the memories but I’m happier with McCarthy, just hope we’ve got him for a few years more and he doesn’t throw his career away by going to be another clubs reserve, at the moment we’re right for him and he’s right for us.
If Jimmy’s bad mouthing Wigan now he’s away from here, that wouldn’t bother me, it would make him a typical cockney cock.

To say I was disappointed with the person I encountered, would be a huge understatement.
This was the club that brought Jimmy Bullard the footballer to the public’s attention, before Jimmy Bullard the clown and TV personality took over, but he was downright disrespectful.
Bullard will go to the highest bidder next season, whether they are Premier League, SPL or Championship. It certainly won’t be Wigan.
The only time I’ve spent in his company was when we were promoted from Division 1 (I think), John Filan (great bloke) and a number of the winning team were in Walkabout and just us, I was fairly bladdered but everyone else was just having a laugh, Bullard kept looking at me like he was a scared little boy, certainly not the ultra confident person we see on tv, it was one of our lads who put Teale on youtube singing “Teale’ll tear you apart” while having a piss. Good night to remember.
Just an average run of the mill mid fielder in my opinion. I cant believe he was considered for the national side, all media hype over nothing ! His pass completion ratio was p i s s poor when he played for us ! Oh yeah and he wasnt even funny, just a d i c k head !!
Why ???? I didnt really rate him when we had him !! Headless chicken springs to mind on many an a occasion ! And now it would seem we know why eh !! ;)
